"Dexter is a cute, textured cardigan worked seamlessly from the top down. The upper part of the raglan yoke of the fronts and the back is worked in Broken Seed Stitch, while the sleeves are worked in Stockinette stitch. Additional increases are worked after the Broken Seed Stitch part of the yoke to get a relaxed fit. When the yoke shaping is complete, sleeve stitches are placed on hold to work the body first down to the ribbing. A small Broken Seed Stitch band before the ribbing is added for a little interest ;) Then stitches are picked up for the button band and the buttonhole band. Neck-finishing is worked next. Last the sleeve stitches are placed back on the needles to work the sleeves seamlessly in the round down to the cuffs".

A little tradition that every year, attendees of the famous yarn show in New York State wear their hand-knitted sweaters to the show.

A Statement from Verity, founder of baa ram ewe
Ten years is a long time to be in business in this day and age. I opened baa ram ewe back in 2009 with the exact same purpose that we have now: to put Yorkshire’s unique and often undervalued wool heritage back on the world map. At that time acrylic yarns were still dominating the industry here and even historic Yorkshire brands such as Rowan, Sirdar,...
What do coal, a reservoir and a flower have in common? They're all inspiration behind our yarn shades! Titus is our oldest yarn, and takes its inspiration from Yorkshire; from the colours we choose to the fibres we use. We thought we'd dive into the inspiration behind the shades now it's back in stock.
